What You’ll Learn in this On-Demand Webinar

Amid the ongoing upheaval of the past two years, it has become clear that we are facing a national children’s mental health crisis. This crisis does not exist in a silo: As the lines between work and home have blurred, the added stress, anxiety, and burden on caregivers has a direct impact on their ability to thrive at work. Employers must play a larger role in comprehensively supporting their employees by implementing policies, benefits, and managerial strategies that encompass their families, too. Join this session to learn how employers can play a crucial role in helping caregivers and their families thrive.
